That human …
The green figure raised his head slightly, and the light outside shone on his face.
His eyes were like gongs, his nose was square, and his mouth was as big as a basin. Two ivory teeth extended from the corners of his mouth.
There were wrinkles on both sides of his face, which looked very similar to the gill slits of a shark.
A head of disheveled green hair cascaded down, covering most of the skin on his upper body.
He was the gatekeeper of the Great Wall — Qing Ying.
"It was Gu Claw who crossed the line first." Qing Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the red figure in the mirror who looked similar to him.
"No, it was that human who crossed the line first."
The red figure was Qing Ying's twin brother. His point of view was obviously different from Qing Ying's.
"But Gu Claw didn't follow the rules, so he crossed the line. Also, his failure in that situation is a shame that can never be washed away." Qing Ying's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"You're still the same," the red figure said helplessly.
Qing Ying looked at his brother in the mirror in silence.
The red figure also fell silent.
After a while, the red figure said, "Some people in the clan are trying to break the rules. If you want to go back, I'll arrange it."
Qing Ying stared at the gill slits on his brother's face and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Where are you standing?"
The red figure was silent.
Qing Ying knew the answer from his silence.
"According to the rules, I'm the gatekeeper.
"According to the rules, I have the responsibility to lead the way.
"According to the rules, I have to choose the level of 'warning' carefully.
"According to the rules, I have nowhere to go. I can only stay here."
The red figure was calm after hearing Qing Ying's words.
Qing Ying looked at his brother's calm face and continued, "This is a door, not a wall. It has no right to keep all creatures out. If the clan wants to replace me, they have to follow the rules …"
The red figure smiled helplessly and said, "So, you're always like this. No matter how many years you've been there, you haven't changed at all."
"But you've changed," Qing Ying said.
The red figure paused and said, "I'll contact you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the image in the mirror rippled and eventually turned into an ordinary mirror, reflecting Qing Ying's face.
Qing Ying expressionlessly raised his hand and touched the frame of the mirror. As if he had touched a switch, the life-force of the mirror turned into smoke, flowing back to his heart through his fingertips.
Clearly, this was a mirror that had been materialized from life force.
After taking back the mirror, Qing Ying stood up and walked out of the treehouse.
This tree was a thousand meters tall, which was inferior to the sapling of the World Tree, but it had a wide field of vision.
Standing here, one could see the vast land within the city walls, as well as the lush green forest outside the city walls.
The north of the continent was filled with vitality and endless resources.
In the south of the continent, the wasteland stretched for an unknown number of miles, and there were rarely any signs of life.
Qing Ying stood on the platform at the edge of the treehouse, quietly looking at the green forest in the north, like a stone statue, not moving at all.
.....
There was a place in the Darkness Continent that was filled with rocky mountains.
The mountain was like a needle, and its base was as thick as a disc. The higher it went, the thinner the tip.
Such needle mountains were densely packed, forming a mountainous area that looked like a forest of needles.
There were several holes at the base of each needle mountain, and each hole was easily more than ten meters tall and no less than five meters wide.
The gap between the mountains was quite wide, and there were many torches in the area.
Although they were called torches, they were actually trees that were only as thick as a human's arm, about ten meters tall.
From the base of the tree, one could see the exposed roots, but the top of the tree was burning with endless flames. This was a fire tree in the truest sense.
Looking down from above, the lines formed by the torches formed a six-pointed star formation.
One of the needle mountains had a neat interior, and many passages and rooms had been carved out with uncanny workmanship.
In one of the rooms, the fire tree's roots spread out on the rock wall, producing bright silver flowers that illuminated most of the room.
Where there was fire, there would be shadows.
In a corner of the room, there was a stone table and chair.
A tall figure was sitting there, and the light of the silver flowers and the shadows in the darkness merged and covered the figure.
"Rumble …"
The figure stood up and pushed the heavy stone chair back easily, making a dull sound.
On the table in front of the figure, there was a mirror placed vertically.
The style of the mirror was similar to the green shadow's mirror.
The only difference between the two was the color of the edge of the mirror. The green shadow's mirror was green, and the red shadow's mirror was red.
And this figure was the red shadow.
He reached out and tapped the frame of the mirror.
Then, the mirror turned into smoke and returned to his heart through his fingertips.
Thoughts that were born from the same womb were extremely rare, not to mention the fact that the thoughts of the two were actually connected.
The red shadow took back the mirror and turned around to look outside the open stone door.
Perhaps noticing the red shadow's action, half of a figure appeared outside the door.
The figure's head and face were covered with golden hair, and its facial features were similar to that of a gorilla. The teeth exposed outside the mouth were like claws.
"Your stubborn brother is very difficult to deal with." The gorilla face beast sneered.
"When the time comes, he can't be stubborn."
The red shadow glanced at the gorilla face beast and walked to the other side of the stone door.
The gorilla face beast looked at the red shadow's back and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if he keeps guarding there. Anyway, once the 'rule' is abolished, the clan will naturally send a team to guard the landing point."
"Those stupid humans who ignore the warning should be eliminated one by one."
The red shadow stopped and looked back at the gorilla face beast: "Gu Claw, whether the rule can be abolished or not, we will only know after the result is out. Before that, we must act according to the rules."
If Law was here, he would definitely recognize the identity of this Gu Claw. It was the beast that tried to use [Withering] to eliminate him.
Gu Claw met the red shadow's gaze and said coldly: "So this is the reason why you didn't tell your brother the news of the 'humans' coming again?"
"I have no obligation to tell him."
The red shadow threw down the last sentence and left the room.
Gu Claw snorted and took out a red bead the size of a basketball from the pocket of his plant weaved trousers. There was a slightly open gap on the surface of the bead, and below it was a truncated root.
This was the [Worldly Possession] he got from his fellow clan members, called the [True Sight Guard].
.....
Late at night.
Law, who was lying on a rock at the top of the mountain, slowly opened his eyes.
On his left and right were Biscay and Miss Cookie.
Law straightened his body, opened his orifices, and continued to cultivate.
Biscay looked at Law who was cultivating like a maniac. At this time, she was wearing a mask on her face and holding a magazine in her hand.
